February 2021 Update

We’ve had a pretty quiet winter up until recently, but February decided to try to make up for lost time.  We have over a foot on the ground right now from a couple of storms.  Here are two snow pictures, if you want to see the beauty of God’s handiwork.

 



We’re pretty used to adapting to storms.  The biggest impact of the one earlier this week was that Zach and Amelia, who had been in Minnesota visiting Kortney and her family, couldn’t get back home.  They made it to Chicago, but their final flight from there to home was canceled because of weather.  They ended up spending the night in a hotel in Chicago and flew home to Buffalo instead of Rochester the next day.  They, and we, were very thankful for Kevin, who helped them find the hotel, and Cody, who drove all the way to Buffalo to pick them up and get them home.

 

Even with that, they had a great time visiting Kortney, Mat, Daisy, Bea, and Gus, and came home with lots of fun stories of their time there.

 

I guess other than the weather, there really hasn’t been much going on this past month.  We’ve had our usual birthday get-togethers here, and we’ve all just been surviving/enjoying the western New York winter.

 

Krista, Jem, and I leave tomorrow morning to meet our newest grandson, Milo, and enjoy time with Carissa, Matt, and Ruby, and Caitlin and Ben in Philadelphia, so I’ll tell you about that next month, Lord willing.
